In the opening scene, General Nathanael Greene instructs his Quartermaster, Lt. Col.

Little did they know that this fateful decision would later save the American war efforts. https://www.halifaxcountyhistoricalsociety.org/photo-gallery daily 0.75 2025-08-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5979f076e3df28e423a0617d/a95d4c02-17c3-432e-8ada-438324ad5e34/DSC_3463.jpeg Photo Gallery - Make it stand out Reenactors ready for “Crossing of the Dan” Commemoration Day march. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5979f076e3df28e423a0617d/1501170836243-ZIG7JQ5SYP8J1ZG8M4V4/2017+speaker+Greene.jpg Photo Gallery - Dan McMichael as Nathanael Greene Dan McMichael, noted historian, portraying General Nathanael Greene at the 2017 annual Commemoration. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5979f076e3df28e423a0617d/1501170836356-FNS83AW0L8GFJLFBWPBX/2017+speaker+Greene+1.jpg Photo Gallery - Dan McMichael as Nathanael Greene Dan McMichael, noted historian, portraying General Nathanael Greene at the 2017 annual Commemoration. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5979f076e3df28e423a0617d/1501170839769-NECCF2G2QIH329WV8VC4/cannon+removal.jpg Photo Gallery - Revolutionary troops landing Revolution soldiers landing on the bank of the Dan River https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5979f076e3df28e423a0617d/1501170846492-CYUR2FP2BG6EK63NORCK/Crossing+2+2015+a.jpg Photo Gallery - Parade to the Dan River Re en-actors marching to the Dan River during the Commemoration. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5979f076e3df28e423a0617d/1501170846200-926H9SWYS5PKSQIH2R9A/Crossing+2+2015.jpg Photo Gallery - Parade to the Dan River Marching to the Dan River during the annual commemoration. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5979f076e3df28e423a0617d/1501170847741-HU6548IBVTSTJGSQCLII/River+closeupmen.jpg Photo Gallery - Crossing of the Dan River on a batteau How Greene's troops crossed the Dan River https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5979f076e3df28e423a0617d/1501182725871-L0XL4DHGWPMCXGVJ85XE/Green+exhibit.jpg Photo Gallery - Crossing of the Dan exhibit General Nathanael Greene and Lt.
